Long blonde hair and country star Carrie Underwood are practically synonymous, so it came as a big surprise to her fans to this week to see her make the jump to a shorter hairstyle. Before her cut, Underwood's hair was practically Disney princess-length, so this big chop is quite the dramatic shift from her signature style.

While backstage at the iconic Grand Ole Opry, Underwood posted this lovely photo of her brand new hair, cut by stylist Melissa Schleicher, to Instagram:

It appears that Underwood cut her hair into a shoulder-grazing long bob, making this the shortest we've seen her locks in a while. The big, sweeping curls and deep side part turn this easygoing style into a glamorous 'do — perfect for a setting like the Grand Ole Opry. Big false eyelashes, a bold smokey eye, and luminous skin complete Underwood's look for the evening.
